I figured something out today. It’s puzzling me, so I thought I’d share it. It goes a little something like this:
If time heals all wounds,
And time is money,
Then money heals all wounds.
But this can’t be! I just refuse to believe it! It goes against everything we’ve been taught! This means that you can just buy your health! Like, having a lot of money will get you the best possible health care and great insurance! That’s preposterous! Ok, well, maybe not, but… Money can’t heal all emotional wounds! The sharp piercing arrows of love! No money can save you from those. Unless maybe the arrow is stopped by a bag of coins or a stack of bills you carry around with you. Or a gold brick. And sure, money can get you really high class whores and all, and maybe some really attractive women find all that wealth really attractive too, but you won’t have anyone who really cares about you. I mean, really cares. Unless you pay them to. No, it’s just not so. Not so, I tell you! Money is the root of all evil!
But if money is the root of all evil,
And money heals all wounds,
Then the root of evil heals all wounds.
Can this be? I thought it was good that makes people feel better. Good heals, doesn’t it? Can it really be that evil, I mean, the very root of it can cure anything? Maybe Nietsche was right, “Anything that doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” …And somehow this also heals any kind of wound you might have. Ok, this is crap. It’s not the root of all evil that heals. But it’s shouldn’t be money either. Well…
Money isn’t everything
Not everything heals all wounds
Not everything heals all wounds. Now this I can live with.
